Chapter 300 We Are Just Friends (3)
Yiyao’s voice thickened with emotion. Commander Duan frowned. He asked: “Are you really in love
with that man?”
Yiyao bit her lips and didn’t say anything. Of course she likes Jingyan, or she wouldn’t be so angry
when she saw him walking with another woman.
Commander Duan was very surprised. Because his daughter had never fallen in love with anyone
before. He suddenly sat up straight and said seriously: “Of course, most businessmen are very decent
and righteous people......”
Yiyao burst intoughter after hearing what her father said. Then, a drop of tear rolled down her face.
She said: “I like him. But I don’t want him to be with me when I think of what happened to mom.”
Commander Duan’s face darkened. His wife was killed by a mob in retaliation when he was out on a
mission. At that time, Yiyao was still a high school student. Since her mother’s death, Yiyao was
determined to go to a military school, because she wants to take revenge on this mob who killed her
mother. And a few yearster, Yiyao went to a military school and revenged her mother’s death.
Yiyao never med her father for what happened. She grew up with a group of soldiers and she knew
her father couldn’t always stay at home and protect them.
Commander Duan never gets married again. Sometimes Yiyao suggests him to find another partner,
because she doesn’t want her father to be alone, but Commander Duan never agreed. He said he has
a batman to take care of him, so he doesn’t need another partner.
It was afternoon. The rays of the sun poured in through the window. Commander Duan walked to a
water dispenser and fetched Yiyao a ss of hot water. He gave the water to Yiyao and said: “But still,
you need to get married. Why don’t you marry someone you truly love? I don’t want you to be sad.”
Yiyao looked at her father. She forced a smile on her face and her eyes were sparkling. She said: “Dad,
I don’t feel sad. The only one who can make me sad is you.”
Commander Duan poked at her forehead and said smilingly: “When did I make you sad?”
“Once you arranged a date for me. Remember? And the man you found for me is so...disappointing.”
Yiyao said.
“You are already 28 years old. Don’t you think you should get married?”
Yiyao’s face crumpled. “Here we go again! Dad, I know I’m 28, but what’s the matter? I am still young.
Don’t worry. I will get married someday. Maybe with some soldier in the troop.”
“Sounds like the soldiers are willing to get married with you.” Commander Duan said jokingly.
Yiyao tipped her chin proudly and said: “I am the most beautiful woman in the troop. Nobody can resist
my charm.”
“Okay. Knock it off.” Commander Duan touched the bruise near her eye and asked: “Does it still hurt?”
Yiyao nodded seriously. “Yes, it hurts badly.”
“That’s why you must stay in hospital. Don’t go out until you are fully recovered! If the scar remains on
your face, no one will marry you.” Commander Duan said. He is a very high-ranking official, and at the
same time, he is also a father. He felt his heart was aching when he saw his daughter in much pain.
“If no one wants to get married with me, I will live with you. You can make enough money to support my
life.” Yiyao smiled at her father.
Commander Duan patted on her head and said: “So, you want to be an old maid. That’s not possible.
Your mother will be angry with me.”
“Don’t you want me to be with you all the time?” Yiyao sipped the hot water.
“Okay. That’s enough. Take a rest.” Commander Duan took the ss away and lifted the quilt on the
bed.
Yiyao kicked off her shoes and got on bed.
“You must be good. Don’t leave the hospital unless the director tells you it is okay to leave. Is that
understood?”
“I know.” Yiyao said tiredly. She suddenly asked: “What about the training?”
Commander Duan covered her under the quilt and said: “Don’t worry about it. Someone has taken
over. The troop can still function without you in it.”
“What about these people?”
“They were all caught.” Commander Duan said.
Yiyao’s expression became serious. She said: “These people must have a bigger boss.”
“It’s under investigation.”

At that time, Commander Duan’s batman arrived. He is a middle aged man and he has been serving
Commander Duan for many years. He said respectfully: “Sir, the car is ready.”
Commander Duan nodded. He then said to Yiyao: “I must get going. I will ask Azure Dragon to stay
here and take care of you. Don’t run away again. You understand?”
“I know. You have said that a thousand times.” Yiyao shook her head. She had never met any other
commander who is as nagging as her father.
“Okay. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye, dad.”
When they were alone in the car, Commander Duan said to the batman: “There is someone named
Jingyan Ye in Sky City. I want you to check his background.”
“Yes, sir.”
Yiyao looked outside the window after her father left, and her spirits drooped again. She didn’t know
whether her decision to give up on Jingyan was correct or not. Maybe her father is right. Jingyan is just
not suitable for her.
Now looking back, she realized her life had been just fine without him in it. Maybe her feelings for him
were not that strong. What made her suffer so much was when he professed his love for her, she
thought her life would be totally different, but that hope soon faded, and that was what truly hurt.
At that moment, a nurse knocked the door and walked in. She rolled up Yiyao’s sleeves and checked
on her. Her beautiful brow furrowed when she saw Yiyao’s wound was bleeding again. She asked:
“What happened?”
“Oh, I bumped my arm against a table identally.” Yiyao said.
The nurse knows who Yiyao is, so she didn’t dare toin. She removed the gauze bandage
carefully and said: “How about your leg? Did you identally bump your leg into something?”
“I’m not sure.” Yiyao said. “Why do you look so serious? Come on. Give me a smile. You look so
beautiful when you smile.”
The nurse was amused. She said: “You are still joking. Can’t you feel any pain?”
“Of course I can. It is killing me.” Yiyao said.
The nurse said: “Is that so? I heard you are a very tough woman. Even these male soldiers are no
match for you in a fight.”
“That doesn’t mean I can’t feel pain.” Yiyao said. “Ouch, please be gentle.”
The nurse giggled. “I haven’t touched the wound yet.”
“I love to look at you when you smile. You make me feel nervous when you wear a solemn expression.”
“You are badly injured, but you will make a full recovery if you can listen to me and doctors and stay at
the hospital. This morning, my wages are docked because I didn’t keep an eye on you and let you run
away. If you do this again, I will be fired.”
Yiyao was surprised when she heard this. She didn’t know she caused so much trouble to other
people. She said: “I’m so sorry.”
“That’s okay. As long as you can cooperate with us from now on. I’m going to change your bandage.
It’s gonna hurt.”
The bandage on her arm was changed. The nurse then asked her to unbutton her shirt, because there
was a gauze bandage around her waist that need changing.
How did she get injured so badly? You may ask. Well, it all started from the day when Yiyao went to the
arranged date.
That day, she went to the Chinese restaurant for diner, and a group of people noticed her the moment
she walked into the restaurant. When Jingyan professed his love for her, she felt her mind went nk
and she couldn’t think of anything else. So on the way back, she didn’t notice a group of people were
following her closely.
She was in the hotel. When she made up her mind to go out and look for Jingyan, someone knocked
the door. She opened the door, and found it was a servant. He had a te of fruits in his hands.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Duan?”
“Yes, I am.”
“This is your fruit.”
Yiyao didn’t order any fruit, but she thought it was Jingyan who ordered it for her. So she took the te
dly. But suddenly, another man appeared from behind the waiter and covered her nose and mouth
with a piece of cloth. The cloth has a very strong and pungent smell, and before Yiyao realized what
was going on, she lost her consciousness and copsed to the ground.
